ABOUT THE POSITION
As a Principal Analytics Architect, you will serve as a senior technical leader for data architecture and analytics solutions, reporting to the Associate Director of Data and Backend Engineering. You will help set the technical direction for how ButcherBox connects operational flows across the business, the systems that support them, and the data models that draw from them. You'll bring a data-oriented perspective to how we integrate backend systems and balance impacts on how we design, build, and evolve our warehousing and modeling layers. The work of this role will simplify our overall architecture while better connecting systems that need to draw from data across our ecommerce suite, including Shopify, NetSuite, CDP, and CRM platforms.
This role blends hands-on technical leadership with organization-wide influence. You will translate business strategies into scalable, well-governed architectural designs, establish standards for trusted and maintainable data solutions, and drive adoption of core models and integrations across reporting and operational endpoints. Your work will reduce metric ambiguity, improve data quality and timeliness, and accelerate delivery of insights and downstream capabilities that depend on reliable foundations.
